Wake

Janie (I just realised that I pretty much always start my reviews this way... oh well) is not a normal teenager. Actually, the story starts when she is eight, and is told in present tense, so she doesn't start a teenager. But back to my original point, Janie is not normal. When anyone around her sleeps, she jumps into their dreams. As you can imagine, this really sucks (haha, pun).

Even though her mother is a boozer, Janie does quite a bit of partaking herself (doesn't that sound old!) She also feels comfortable sleeping with other people, just sleeping though, thus far, there is a second book. And the requisite f-word makes it's appearance a few times. Also, Janie get sucked into peoples sex/naked at school/work dreams. Not so cool.

Janie's a pretty decent girl trying to live her life better than her mom. 'M not sure she's doing 100% on this, but it's not easy since she is completely responsible for her own life. Cable seems like a pretty nice guy, but you can never tell. I liked the direction the end was going... It was refreshing to have doing good for other people the moral of a teen story.

If you cut out all the bad stuff, I like this story. It was a fun read, and the writing style kept your mind on the story. But I can't cut out all the bad stuff, so I guess it was okay, with a good "moral" or whatever the modern equivalent of that is. Good point maybe? I should get out more often...
